I stopped here to get soup for my sick wife and 7 year old son. It was a “to go” order and when I arrived, the phone was ringing and the server was sitting down in a both with 3 other people looking at menus. I stood there (while the phone was ringing) and waited to be noticed which took several moments. My order was taken for 3 cups of soup and I was told that it would be “5 minutes or less” as the restaurant was not busy and there was only one table. I ended up waiting for 15 minutes (which may have not been anyone’s fault) but when I did get my order it was in a plastic bag but there were no spoons, napkins, etc. I asked for these items and it was provided. It looked like a great little place, but 15 minutes for 3 cups of soup and no spoons and the like? It was disappointing.

The cocktails were superb. Both drinks we got were the bartender’s brain child. The atmosphere was hoppin but you still have your privacy. The food was good and filling. Overall it lived up to its name.

Came for our daughter's 27th birthday last night, food was delicious especially the smash burger special with truffle and Swiss!! Waitstaff were very attentive and sweet even bringing her a birthday cannolli with a candle. The place is tastefully decorated and modern, drinks were delicious and we will be back for sure

Had a surprise birthday party for my husband here! Staff was friendly, accommodating, professional and very organized! Everyone commented how good the food was! If you haven't been here yet you will be pleasantly surprised by how nice the atmosphere/decor inside is compared to the outside.

No comment regarding the atmosphere because we had a large takeout order. The hot food was hot and the cold food was cold. We had chicken riggies, meatballs and sauce, and antipasto with dressing on the side, Utica greens, garlic pizza, tomato pie, bread and butter. We would highly recommend the chicken riggies, meatballs and sauce, antipasto , bread-and-butter and the garlic pizza. We just felt that the Utica greens could have used more heat, as in hot peppers, and perhaps some more spices . The tomato pie by our standards was more of a pizza . I would order everything else again over and over. Very friendly employees both on the phone and in person. When in Utica stop in to this restaurant and have some of their great food

The outside looks sketchy but the decor inside was nice. When we arrived we were told to wait 5 minutes at the door despite several empty tables. A bit odd. Our service was lacking as no water was provided until another staff member noticed (not our server). The food arrived and looked really good but all 3 of us felt it was just ok. One of us had an extremely salty dish. All in all fairly disappointing

The food was awesome!! Our server was so sweet and pleasant. I'm vegetarian and I believe if a restaurant can make great vegetarian dishes then the other dishes are probably fantastic! I highly recommend this place.

An innocent little strip mall Italian restaurant and bar, the outside is deceiving. Great atmosphere and incredible food can be found inside… a great start to our anniversary trip to Niagara Falls.
